About

Dr. Boris van Lierde is a leading researcher in crisis management and robotic systems, with a focus on integrating unmanned technologies into existing emergency response infrastructures. His major contribution is the development of the Command, Control and Intelligence (C2I) system, a key component of the ICARUS project, which enhances situational awareness and coordination during disasters. This work, detailed in his highly cited 2013 paper (26 citations), demonstrates how unmanned search and rescue robots can be effectively embedded into real-world crisis operations, bridging the gap between autonomous systems and human decision-making. Dr. van Lierde’s research has significantly advanced the practical deployment of robotics in high-stakes environments, offering scalable solutions for first responders. His achievements include shaping the ICARUS project’s strategic framework, which has influenced subsequent EU-funded initiatives in disaster robotics. With a career dedicated to improving command and control in crisis scenarios, his work remains a foundational reference for researchers and engineers developing intelligent systems for public safety.
